Dr. Powers, Kat, and the rest of the staff were great in helping our dog Gia. They were knowledgeable and understanding. I hope I never see them again, but if I need them, I know where they are!

Great availability for same-day appointment, nice facility in west Chester, no wait time, friendly staff who greeted us by name, knowledgeable and caring tech and vet. was able to do extensive lab work onsite with results within minutes, clear and thorough discharge instructions and they even called the next day to check in and see how my dog was doing. Highly recommend if you need urgent care.

It was so nice having a vet to go to when we couldn’t get into our vet’s office, but needed some help for my dog, and it wasn’t an immediate emergency. There was a little bit of a wait, but it was worth it. Thank you Acutepet Urgent Care!

Genuinely one of the best vet experiences we’ve had. Our yellow lab Lucy received some not-so-great news and the entire staff was so kind, considerate, and helpful with a plan moving forward. Would highly recommend this vet office for anyone.

After sitting at another urgent care facility for 5 hours, I was able to make an appointment and have my pet treated in just over an hour, which included diagnostic testing. The Vet was awesome and talked to my pet, since they are the patient, as we discussed options for treatment. The entire staff was very friendly and professional. I will never go anywhere else. Most definitely recommend them over anyone else in the area.
